    The biscuits for a cause were hot and tasty. My daughter loved the fried chicken and thought it was perfectly cooked. The fried green tomatoes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with delicious grits underneath. The service was quick and friendly! Great lunch!

    This is a great place for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Two things they don't have is live music ie. guitarist and a large bread selection. biscuits, bagels, rolls, but no banana bread, wheat bread, crackers and cheese or different bagels other than plane. That would be the difference between under $50.00 a head and over $60.00 a head. For being under $50 a head, what they have is great Between the two seatings in 2024, there were less people signed up for Christmas than Thanksgiving. It was almost elbow to elbow to walk around at that seating.
